Status: Phase 1 Operational / Active Expansion | Location: Logistics District, Dubai South (DWC), Dubai, United Arab Emirates
The Khazna Dubai South Hyperscale Data Center Campus (DXB4 / DWC Hub) represents a flagship $250 million digital infrastructure expansion located in Dubai South (Dubai World Central - DWC), United Arab Emirates. Purpose-built to serve as a critical cloud and artificial intelligence processing gateway for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, the multi-phase campus delivers approximately 40 MW of critical IT load across high-density data halls. The development is designed to address the rapidly increasing demand for cloud computing, hyperscale infrastructure, AI workloads, and data-intensive digital services across the region.
Designed for Hyperscale and AI Workloads
The DXB4 campus is engineered to support high-density cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and hyperscale workloads requiring substantial electrical and cooling infrastructure. Its high-density data halls provide an environment capable of accommodating compute-intensive applications, including AI training and inference, cloud platforms, enterprise workloads, and advanced digital services. The multi-phase configuration allows the campus to expand alongside growing regional demand while providing hyperscale customers with scalable infrastructure optimized for increasingly intensive computing requirements across MENA.
Large-Scale Infrastructure and Economic Impact
Backed by an estimated $250 million investment, the Dubai South development represents a significant expansion of Khazna’s digital infrastructure footprint in the UAE. The campus provides approximately 40 MW of critical IT capacity, creating additional infrastructure for cloud service providers, hyperscalers, enterprises, and AI-focused businesses operating across the Middle East. Its development supports the UAE’s broader digital transformation ambitions and strengthens Dubai’s position as a regional center for cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and data-intensive technologies. The multi-phase approach also provides a platform for continued capacity expansion as demand for digital services accelerates across the MENA region.
Strategic Connectivity in Dubai South
Located within Dubai South and the Dubai World Central (DWC) ecosystem, the campus benefits from a strategically positioned digital and logistics environment serving Dubai and international markets. Its location provides access to established telecommunications, fiber, transportation, and regional connectivity infrastructure, supporting low-latency digital services across the UAE and neighboring MENA markets. Positioned as a cloud and AI gateway, DXB4 enables hyperscale and enterprise customers to deploy high-density computing infrastructure close to major regional business and population centers. The campus further reinforces Dubai South’s emerging role as a critical digital infrastructure destination and strengthens the UAE’s position as a strategic hub for cloud, AI, and hyperscale computing across the Middle East and North Africa.
